Abstract

Plasma confinement represents a crucial point for plasma-based accelerators and plasma lenses because it can strongly affect the beam properties. For this reason, an accurate measurement of the plasma parameters, as plasma temperature, pressure and electron density, must be performed. In this paper, we introduce a novel method to detect the plasma temperature and the pressure for gas-filled capillaries in use at the SPARC-LAB test facility. The proposed method is based on the shock waves produced at the ends of the capillary during the gas discharge and the subsequent plasma formation inside it. By measuring the supersonic speed of the plasma outflow, the thermodynamic parameters have been obtained both outside and inside the capillary. A plasma temperature around 1.4 eV has been measured, that depends on the geometric properties and the operating conditions of the capillary.
